BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of apparel and more specifically relates to shields or protectors.

2. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

Painters, construction workers, carpenter and other field workers, as well as production line workers are in contact, on a daily basis, with chemicals, paint and other substances that may ruin their clothes. Often times, these substances can contain chemicals that can irritate the skin. Most of the times, however, it is very inconvenient to have paint, caulk, mortar, adhesives, grease or other substances on their hands and there is a need to wipe the hands regularly. Many workers simply wipe their hands on the front of their pants in the region of the thigh or sides of the thighs. This action ruins the pants. A suitable solution is desired and proposed.

U.S. Pub. No. 2006/0010576 to Michael Tse relates to a removable garment shield. The described removable garment shield includes a removable garment patch which protects the thigh portion of a pants leg. The patch has an inner surface which is secured to the thigh portion of pants, and an outer surface which provides a location that the wearer can wipe with the wearer's hands. The wearer can remove the garment patch prior to leaving the work site. The garment patch can be a single patch, or alternatively, it can be distributed in bulk quantities, such as multiple patches attached together on a roll of patches. The garment patch can be secured to the thigh portion of the pants prior to the initiation of work. The garment patch should be secured to the thigh portion of the pants prior to beginning work activities. At the end of work activities, or at the wearer's selection, the patch can be removed. Alternative embodiments provide discrete patches or rolls of patches which can be dispensed as needed.
